More warehouse management system market consolidation

Catalyst International, a best-of-breed warehouse management system supplier, has been acquired by CDC Software.

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 10/1/2007

Catalyst International, a best-of-breed warehouse management system (WMS) supplier, has been acquired by CDC Software. The acquisition completes a consolidation trend in the WMS industry.

After best-of-breed WMS supplier Provia Software was acquired last year, Modern reported Catalyst was perhaps the only mid-sized, best-of-breed WMS supplier to remain as a stand-alone company. With Catalyst’s acquisition, the only independent WMS suppliers in the market now are the two market leaders—Manhattan Associates and RedPrairie—and a host of small, niche WMS companies.
